Summary

In 1999 Dr. St. Amand, an experienced endocrinologist and UCLA assistant clinical professor, published his effective protocol for reversing fibromyalgia, based on forty years of research, including his own experience with the disease and that of hundreds of his patients. Years later, thousands of fibromyalgia sufferers have followed Dr. St. Amand's revolutionary program and experienced amazing results. This book offers the latest research and Dr. St. Amand's breakthrough program that uses guaifenesin, an inexpensive, safe, and increasingly available medication that can help reverse the disease. The authors have seen symptoms eliminated and normal living restored in an astonishing 90 percent of the fibromyalgia sufferers they treated with guaifenesin. Now you too can discover: Why fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed, Guidelines to determine the proper does and formulation of guaifenesin for you and the medications and substances to avoid while you take it, Methods for coping with symptoms before guaifenesin takes full effect, The link between fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, and carbohydrate intolerance-and suggested dietary changes that can heal, New information on the connection between fibromyalgia and conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Genitourinary Syndromes, and cognitive conditions.
